Course Description:
Children are the group of patients that we have the greatest
opportunity to help. But for those using OMM already, how do you
get started treating children and what courses will advance your
skills? This course OMM for pediatric gastrointestinal conditions
is the latest installment of The Pediatric OMM series. This series is
designed to bring a balanced curriculum for those utilizing OMM and
want to start treating children, already treat children and want to do
more, or clinicians with extensive experience treating children wanting
to take their skills and understanding to the next level.

practical hands-on labs to cover a wide range of clinical topics
including: suck and swallowing/feeding dysfunction, MALT, food
sensitivities, gastro-esophageal reflux, mobility/motility disorders,
constipation, functional bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome,
hepatobiliary system (hyperbilirubinemia). Also background
information on GI system development, viscero-somatic integration,
relationship between the gut and immune system development will
be covered to better understand and augment the clinical materials.
Additionally, adjunctive interventions to augment OMM will be
discussed.

and hormonal control and function)
